COMIC TECHNIQUE: COVER SERIES​ages 11 & up 4-6In most cases, a comic book is designed from the insode out using the outer cover to advertise the interior story. Some creators, however, used the cover as a lavish design to start the ball rolling for the story telling inside. Students will take this idea and run with it, starting with crating their own comic covers and then writing a story to go with the cover.
